Close to half of middle-aged women in Singapore have reported experiencing mental health concerns, but only 59 per cent of them have sought professional help. More than 70 per cent of the women who experienced mental health concerns cited feeling like a burden to others as the reason why they did not seek help. These preliminary findings are from a September survey by the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations (SCWO) and James Cook University in Singapore to study the perceptions of mental health among women aged 40 to 59. The survey is still ongoing and aims to eventually reach 1,000 women.
